Rural Law

Rural law involves the unique, sometimes messy, issues that face us living and working in a rural community. We have a strong background and extensive expertise in all rural law matters, acting for many of New Zealand’s leading dairy operations.

Our services include:

Preparing sale and purchase agreements including Further Terms of Sale that adequately protect the vendor or purchaser

Communicating with other professionals such as accountants and valuers to ensure all aspects of the transaction have been checked

Reviewing GST and other tax issues including checking that house and curtilage valuations are obtained if necessary

Checking that the agreement adequately provides for matters such as forestry, stock and plant, crops, irrigation, company shares/Fonterra shares
